Whitman are still publishing the old Yeoman catalogues (which were "the definitive catalogues" before Krause arrived on the scene in the 1970s). The two volumes cover the period 1850-1964, and 1964-date. Unfortunately, "to date" seems to be 1988, when the last edition of Current Coins was printed. The 1850-1964 book has, however, been recently republished.

The only other contender I'm aware of in world coin catalogue printing are the Schon catalogues. They are now only in German (their English-language editions of their catalogues also seem to have stopped being printed in the 1980s, once Krause gained their effective monopoly), so there's one negative if you can't speak German.

In theory, both Schon and Yeoman can be resumed and regularly updated, if their publishers believe a market for physical catalogues is still there.
